Navy Football


We had a night out at the football, with a babysitter... so no questions about play, or declarations of boredom/hunger/toilet. Sun in our faces until it hit the horizon near the end of the second quarter, then it got cold really fast, but we went with coats and a blanket, and it was really enjoyable, even with four rows of a scout troop from New Jersey behind us. We are starting to be able to keep track of the ball, and the play.
Photo is of the US flag and the big screen, because at stadiums all around the country, that is what you get. I don't remember the Australian flag being so prominent on the landscape. I will remember this as a typical American scene. It was even better in the sunset, but the iphone camera can't deal with that sort of light, so use your imagination!
One of the Navy team front men - not sure what you'd call his position, but I'd call it enforcer, personally... I commented he looked big, and confirmed it by looking up his stats - 6'5", 280 lbs. the other side had similar size, and possibly bigger, as Navy players need to be under the acceptable serving weight before they graduate (prob less than 280lbs).
Navy 55, UMC 14. Last home game of the season!
